Starting tonight, La Toya Jackson will guest judge on the third season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” airing on Logo at 10/9C. La Toya will act as a voice of reason as she aids RuPaul in eliminating drag queen hopefuls who are vying to be crowned “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” La Toya will be judging contestants on their fashion sense, style and personality.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” tears up the runway with the only drag reality competition on television. RuPaul, the world’s most famous drag queen acts as the show’s host. The 12 drag queen hopefuls are competing for the coveted title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and also a prize package that includes a headlining spot on Logo’s Drag Race Tour, featuring cocktails perfected by ABSOLUT®, a lifetime supply of Kryolan Professional Make-up and a cash prize of $75,000.

Jackson commented, “I had an amazing time on this show and I love, love, love RuPaul! The ladies in the competition were exquisite and creative and I know the audience will love this season.”

This season is sure to be full of catfights, drama, laughs and tears. In La Toya’s second guest judging episode of the season airing on April 11th La Toya’s highest airing single, “Just Want to Dance” is featured. Other judges this season include, Sharon Osbourne, Carmen Electra, Margaret Cho, Amber Rose and Vanessa Williams.

La Toya will be a contestant herself on the 11th season of NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice,” premiering on March 6, 2011. Hosted by Donald Trump, the celebrity version of the show features business-style challenges in which the rich and famous compete to raise money for charity, rather than a job with Trump. La Toya will be competing against Dionne Warwick, Meat Loaf and Mark McGrath, to name a few.

Growing up in South Florida, my childhood was influenced by the Cuban community, I loved the foods and the music and even did my aunt’s (who is 3 yrs older than I am ) spanish homework so she could go out and play. Fast-forward to today, living in Los Angeles, I find myself drawn to eating both Spanish (love Frijoles negros and plantains) and Mexican themed foods (you should taste my Guacamole) and making them part of our favorite family foods; I guess what I am trying to say for me, it is not a different culture but part of who I am today.

What does this have to do with the 14th Annual Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival? Good question. With more communities like Miami and Los Angeles having strong Latino community and strong sense of their heritage, we need to support the preservation of the cultures in our world while embracing and adopting them. Which is why this Festival is so important as a commitment to the community to help encourage Latino filmmakers, producers, writers and actors, to participate in submitting to the Festival including movies that depict the Latino culture.

We were at the festival, more as an attendee this year (don’t ask how I screwed up getting media passes for the red carpet) but we did catch one of my favorite actors… Edward James Olmos, who is a big part of this festival.

No, Edward James Olmos is not calling me....

We did capture a few photos from Grauman’s Chinese where the festival took place and encourage you to check out the website – and find out how you can be part of this community today.

To close, I’m going to defer to one of the media partners who broadcast en Espanol, La Presensa.

And before I end this post – I would like to share this tribute I found on YouTube to Edward James Olmos….
